Don’t forget to grab your #BlackInBiophysics t-shirt before you go home! You can get them at the @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social Society Booth. Sales will help us organize #BlackInBiophysicsWeek 2026 🙌🏾 #BPS2026
Today is the last day of #BPS2026! We loved celebrating the accomplishments of our community. Starting with our inaugural #BIBPS Travel Awardees, Emmanuel Osei and Skylar Grimsley, to the outstanding science shared at the #BlackInBiophysics Symposium. Congratulations to all! 👏🏾
The 2026 #BlackInBiophysics Symposium at #BPS206 has concluded. 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 Congratulations to all the speakers and to the co-chairs of this session, Drs. Breann Brown and Wade Zeno for organizing and for highlighting the exceptional science done by our members! @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social
The final talk of the 2026 #BlackInBiophysics Symposium has begun! Dr. Hawa Racine Thiam from Stanford University is presenting on “Neutrophil biophysics through the lens on netosis.” #BPS2026 @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social
Another outstanding talk at the 2026 #BlackInBiophysics Symposium at #BPS2026! 👏🏾 The final talk will begin soon!
The 2nd talk in the 2026 #BlackInBiophysics Symposium is starting! Dr. Heather Pinkett from Northwestern University is presenting “Molecular turnstiles: Following ABC transporters in motion.” @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social
The 2026 #BlackInBiophysics Symposium at the @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social Meeting has begun! 🤩 Dr. Alemayehu Gorfe is presenting on the “Dynamics of lipid-anchored membrane proteins.” #BlackExcellence
Our community is outstanding! 💪🏾 #BlackInBiophysics
WebsEdge Science@websedgescience.bsky.social · 5mo agoThe @blackinbiophys.bsky.social Symposium at #bps2026 highlights emerging research while celebrating the diversity of scientists shaping the field. Watch as we speak with Heather Pinkett about ABC transporters. @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social youtu.be/gAQ-0AniL14

In our #BIBPSWeek 2025 #BIBPSSpotlight Q&A Webinar with Dr. Chrystal Starbird, we learned about her life, career, and STEM advocacy work. We also discussed the barriers that fellow #BlackInBiophysics scholars @jjalston.bsky.social & @stevenssostre.bsky.social faced when pursuing careers in science.👇🏾
Chrystal Starbird@drstarbird.bsky.social · 10mo agoWe are in this odd climate where people are pretending no barriers exist to careers in science for some groups, but this conversation with 2 outstanding emerging scientists highlights that is just not true. youtube.com/watch?v=u850...
